Teams that could falter come tournament time
Duke- They’ve been phenomenal so far this season and have already won three games against top five opponents, but I’ve noticed something very disturbing about this team- they have no bench. Their starting line-up displays the perfect blend of youth and experience and has proven they can beat anyone, but as the year goes on players...

DURHAM, NC -- Mason Plumlee is having fun these days.
The 6-foot-10 Duke center has always enjoyed playing basketball, but his final season in college recently began, and the Blue Devils have easily collected the most impressive victories of the young season to date. And Plumlee is ecstatic.
In the last two weeks, Duke has beaten two No. 2 teams in Kentucky and Louisville on neutral...

Guard Seth Curry will miss No. 2 Duke's game against Delaware on Saturday with what the school says is an injured left ankle.
It's the first game Curry has missed since he became eligible after transferring from Liberty following the 2008-09 season, and he had played 78 straight games for the Blue Devils before this.
He injured his ankle while coming off a screen during...

Seth Curry led Duke with 2.4 assists per game last season. That’s a pretty modest average to lead any college team. For a team often called Point Guard U, that almost defies comprehension. That’s the lowest average to lead Duke in, well, forever, or at least since assists became an official stat.
That’s not a knock on Curry, a...

In the midst of a November to remember I’m urging Duke Basketball fans to take a deep breath and use just a modicum of caution when it comes to assuming that the Blue Devils are the best team in the land.
Duke has proven to be a very good team early this season but that guarantees nothing long term.
As a Duke fan, it is easy to get wrapped up in the Blue Devils 7-0 start,...

What a night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Up to 700 students camped out for the matchup with 4th-ranked Ohio State and the building was absolutely electric. When people talk about the mystique of Cameron Indoor Stadium, last night’s environment is exactly what they’re referring to. The teams on the court didn’t disappoint. Between high flying dunks from Mason Plumlee and intense...

By Josh Evans – Ohio State came into Cameron Indoor Stadium and set the tone right out of the gate. You could tell that Ohio State came into the game believing from the get go that they can win this game. After all, this was their first test of the season, and Duke has been tested with playing the then #2 and #3 teams in the nation as well as solid teams in Minnesota and VCU. In...

By Chad Lykins – A year removed from a 22-point defeat at the hands of Ohio State, the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils had this season’s rematch heavily circled on this season’s calender.
Trailing for the majority of the contest, Duke was able to rally behind much improved play from their backcourt in the second half, another double-double performance from Mason Plumlee and two key...
